Who knew Jews celebrate Christmas in Chinatown?!

Our special guest uncovers the history behind the closely aligned cultures dating to WWI + WWII. China was one of the very few countries that the Jewish people could escape to and thrive as a community. This is not a new phenomenon. In fact, inter-racial marriages between Asians and Jews are on the rise! We can’t wait to welcome the next Prime Minister of Australia of Asian-Jew descent!

Timestamp: Intro; [0:49] How the Jews started celebrating Christmas in Chinatown?; [3:17] Day of Atonement with Chinese food; [5:09] History of Jewish-Chinese communities ‘Blood Sisters’; [6:50] Famous Asian-Jews ‘The Zuck + Dr Chan’ & Shalom Japan; [11:08] Tiger Mum vs Jewish Mum; [14:40] Future of Jewish-Chinese; [16:45] Australian Easter Dragons from Gold Rush; [20:36] A Chinese-Eggplant + Jewish-Shakshuka for Christmas; [23:14] Future of Australia with Asian-Jews; [25:20] Last Episode for 2020! Merry Christmas + Happy New Year! See you in 2021!
